'Every time it gets excited — boom — it collapses': How dogs with narcolepsy helped scientists understand the disorder (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many people are familiar with melatonin, a hormone that helps ready the body for sleep. But there's another, lesser-known chemical in the brain, called orexin, that tips the scale in the other direction: waking the body up. In 1999, two scientists independently uncovered the function of orexin and published papers about it. Dr. Masashi Yanagisawa, a molecular biologist and physician now at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, came across orexin while studying the interaction of receptors and chem
'America's Nobel' prizes go to sleep and hemophilia researchers, and to Michael J. Fox for Parkinson's advocacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year's Lasker Awards — coveted prizes for biomedical research that are sometimes called "America's Nobel Prizes" — have gone to scientists behind fundamental discoveries in sleep science and to researchers who developed a groundbreaking treatment for hemophilia. Additionally, a Lasker Award for public service went to actor Michael J. Fox for his advocacy for patients with Parkinson's disease that has helped advance research into the neurodegenerative condition. The prizes, each of which com
New map of a male fly central nervous system includes all 166,000 neurons — and enables direct comparisons to female fly brain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A fruit fly's brain is roughly the size of a poppy seed — and yet that tiny package contains over 100,000 neurons. A new map charts every single neuron in the male fruit fly brain, as well as the insect's equivalent of a spinal cord, totaling more than 166,000 neurons. This new map joins a map of a female fruit fly brain that was unveiled in 2024 and covers about 140,000 neurons. These two wiring diagrams, also called "connectomes," can now be compared to see if there are differences between the
Trump's childhood vaccine order will threaten children's safety, even if it doesn't directly change policy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Donald Trump's recent executive order on childhood vaccines has generated a predictable and understandable debate around public health needs, parental autonomy and the scientific justifications for the directive. The order proposes, among other things, altering the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule and splitting up the combined MMR vaccine into multiple shots. As an immunologist, my view is that the order contradicts established scientific consensus and instead backs narratives that are
2 people die of measles in Pennsylvania as vaccination rates drop across the nation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two people in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, have died of measles, marking the first measles-related deaths in the United States this year. Neither individual was vaccinated against the disease, the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) reported Tuesday (Aug. 25). Their deaths mark the first measles fatalities in the state in 35 years. "To protect the privacy of the individuals and their families, DOH will not release any additional details that could personally identify these individuals and
